Install Zoom via Winget as system user

Dear All,

 

I'm currently working on an automated install script for MDM Intune.

Here is documentation >> Using 1 Intune to rule all Winget Apps – VAN-DAAG
Current issue is when you install zoom via SYSTEM account (other apps are working)
it installs on location:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Zoom

So its not available for all users. (NON)
I was hoping by adding --scope machine to the script it will solve. but not.
.\winget.exe install --id $PackageName --scope machine --silent --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

If you install it as User. its installed for that user. But then it is not reported in Intune that its installed. because its in user profile.

Are there other solutions via Winget? I don't want to build something with the MSI file when there is an update.

 

Kind regards,
Daag

No, I never received an update about this. Currently working with a different method with updating intune apps.
Winget is not the best solution if you are not an administrator.

I appreciate you following up. I thought I had discovered a way to do it, apparently there is a switch you can  use to designate a user install or system install (--installer-context system), but I can't get it to work. More info on the switches available here: https://wintuner.app/docs/wintuner-cli/package/.  I guess I'll try going another route.
